Re: Architecture: Custom Profile Provider with Active Directory Membership

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi Nicholas,

We want to use AD for authentication because it means the users don't
need "another username/password".
Also our product does not have a user maintenance section for
application users. We rely purely on sys admin maintaining AD users in
the standard way. Our product essentially leaves "zero footprint" in
this regard. So user administration is not a concern.

The only alternative then as I see it is to write a custom profile
provider base from scratch.
Or at least reflect Microsofts and fix it.

I guess this even shows a fault in the concept of the Provider
pattern; once you have an interface to a provider, you really are
locked in there.

Thanks heaps.
Steven
